Happy Monday Everyone! We survived! God had truly been good to us over the last week. We survived an earthquake, an aftershock, and Irene!! I know I'm thankful. A tree is down in our backyard, but it fell away from the house. Another tree in the front is leaning but can be lifted back up. So I thank God for protecting us, keeping the power on for us, and just being so awesome. I pray that all is well with you all!
Today's Topic: Your Breakthrough!
Scripture Text: Micah 2:13
Today's Devotion is taken from The Daily Devotional: The Word For You Today
Are you thinking, "If I don't get a breakthrough, I'm not going to make it"? Try to understand a couple of things:
#1 Your problem is just an opportunity for God to work on your behalf: You are in a position to experience the very thing that these words speak on: "The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their king will pass through before them, the Lord at their head." By God's grace you can prevail over your circumstances. You can rise above discouragement and the self-defeating mentality that says, "Nothing is going to change for the better." You say "But I tried and failed!" Now mark that off your list and say, "Now I know that doesn't work" Rejoice, God knows the way, and He's going before you!
#2 Before you experience a breakthrough, there's usually a shake-up: Chuck Jaeger, the World War II hero who broke the sound barrier, fractured his ribs in a horse riding accident the day before he hopped in to the cockpit and attempted to do w what had never been done with a plane before. His friends all said "You're in too much pain. Don't do it." His fears told him "Nobody's ever done it before. You won't either" At 700 miles an hour the plane began to shake violently. Then suddenly he broke through into what he described as "a great calm". That's how it is when you're about to experience your breakthrough. When everything around you starts to shake and your fear level skyrockets, you're not about to crash and burn, you're on the threshold of a breakthrough!
So hold tight fam. Stay in the race!! God is preparing you for a breakthrough experience that's bigger than you could ever imagine.
Be encouraged on today.
As always, I'm hear with a listening ear if you ever need me.
Be Blessed,
